China3D printingNet, March 11, the Texas-based construction company ICON has listed its first batch of Americans in the domestic housing market.3D printingHouses start at approximately US$450,000.
ICON cooperates with developer 3Strands to use its Vulcan 3D printingThe machine built four multi-storey buildings in East Austin with north-facing windows, open floor plans and tailor-made interior designs. The Additive Manufacturing Residence has now become ICON’s 24th building project and the first innovative new community to enter the mainstream market, named East 17th Street.
3Strands co-founder and CEO Gary O’Dell (Gary O’Dell) said: “We want to change how we build, how we own and how we live together in the community. This project represents3D printingA big step forward for architecture, driving new technologies and3D printingThe boundaries of the house. “
ICON’s Vulcan technology
ICON’s architectural function revolves around its proprietary Vulcan 3D printingThe printer is specially designed to produce single-story buildings quickly and economically, with maximum design freedom. The system has an adjustable width and print capacity of 2,000 square feet, and is compatible with a variety of different flat panel sizes, allowing users to flexibly construct habitable structures in various layouts.
Since Vulcan can also be transported and deployed without assembly, ICON is able to use it globally3D printingLow-cost housing. As early as 2018, the company worked with non-profit partner New Story to build a $4,000 350-square-foot house in Texas as an early proof of concept for investors.
Since then, ICON has established the functionality of its platform by creating building groups, including homes for the homeless in Latin America and “the world’s first3D printingCommunity.” The construction company also developed a huge “vehicle hidden structure” for the US Marine Corps, and even signed a contract with NASA to provide3D printingsystem.
So far, the company’s additive manufacturing structure has basically been constructed as a proof of concept, proving the capabilities of its technology.However, in its latest project, ICON is now taking steps3D printingThe first step of commercial construction, which may reflect the deviation of its broader growth strategy.

East 17th Street Project
As part of the ambitious East 17th Street plan, 3Strands effectively used ICON’s technology to establish a small scale in the thriving area of East Austin3D printingHousing community. The company has built four different residences, each of which can be completed in only 5 to 7 days, and is expected to be habitable by the summer of 2021.
The house developed by the design company Logan Architecture includes an arched master bedroom, a secluded office and a minimalist rustic beauty.by using3D printingWith ICON’s sturdy Lavacrete material, 3Strands can make houses energy-efficient and more resistant to fire, flood and wind than conventionally constructed buildings.
In addition, according to 3Strands, the use of ICON’s technology to provide it with value is “better” than traditional production methods, adding that “the future of house construction is now and now.” As the final “wind-up” of these real estates is currently underway. To proceed, the company will list it on the local housing market.
O’Dell concluded: “Compared with traditional buildings, ICON offers higher value of houses in various cost centers. The East 17th St residence represents the future of residential buildings for the mass market and illustrates the possibility of using this technology. sex.”

Only last year,3D printingIt has been used to create many large structures, from three-story buildings to huge turbine towers.The German-based PERI Group is currently using large-format machines from the Danish construction company COBOD3D printing“The world’s first three-story commercial apartment”. Upon completion, the building will be divided into five rentable apartments and listed on the local housing market.
In June 2020, GE Renewable Energy also adopted COBOD’s3D printingTechnology to build “record-breaking” wind turbine towers. As part of a multi-year plan, the large concrete structure aims to promote the production of renewable energy while reducing its overall cost.
In other places,3D printingMachine manufacturer WASP has adopted a more environmentally friendly approach, using only natural raw materials to make its “TECLA” sustainable habitat. Although the structure was originally established as a proof of concept, its purpose was to serve as a blueprint for a new round house model.
